Who we work with

Trusted in health, manufacturing and government

We work with New Zealand organisations where uptime, security and accountability matter.

Health

Clinical and administrative systems can't go down, and patient data must stay protected. We support resilient infrastructure, secure access and backups, with data residency options in New Zealand.

Manufacturing

Production, ERP and plant systems need reliable networks and servers on site, often with ageing applications that still matter. We keep them running and modernise them step by step.

Government

Public sector teams need secure, well-documented and cost-accountable IT. We work to documented change processes and keep cloud spend transparent.

How we work

A simple, low-risk process

  1. Assess

    We review your environment, costs and risks, and agree what good looks like.

  2. Plan

    A clear plan with scope, price, change windows and a rollback for every step.

  3. Deliver

    Senior engineers do the work, validate it and document it as they go.

  4. Support & optimise

    Ongoing support, patching and cost reviews keep it secure and efficient.

Case study

  • Discovery from config files, DLL strings and database backups
  • Same-name, same-instance design for zero application changes
  • Rollback ready at every stage
